Sports Needs Another Mike Tyson

It's unfortunate that the contemporary sporting world doesn't have as controversial an athlete as it did in the 90's with Mike Tyson.

Whether you were a Tyson fan or not, you watched him on TV to hear what he had to say: his death threats, eating Lennox Lewis' children, standing triumphantly beside Don King and predicting victory, saying "I'm 36, going on 36," it was all an experience to behold.

Who do we have now that rivals the character (I'm saying that in an entertaining way) like Iron Mike? Barry Bonds just gets under people's skin (Insert jokes about needles under skin here) not to mention he and Allen Iverson are too old.

It's time for someone to step up, grab the mike and let it all out. Or, if no one's willing to do it, just adjust a current show to allow for more entertainment.
